问题如下:
An analyst is evaluating an issuer’s liquidity and calculates a negative cash conversion cycle for the issuer in the most recent fiscal year. This result is:
选项:
A.not feasible.
possible, because the issuer has sufficient cash and marketable securities on hand to support short-term needs.
possible, because the investment in inventory is returned quickly and the issuer takes advantage of vendor financing.
解释:
C is correct. If days of inventory on hand is low, the accounts receivable collection period is short, and the issuer takes advantage of its vendors’ financing, a negative cash conversion cycle is a possible result.
A is incorrect, because issuers may have a negative cash conversion cycle if days payable outstanding is larger than the sum of days of inventory on hand and days sales outstanding.
B is incorrect, because the amount of cash and marketable securities on hand does not affect the company’s cash conversion cycle.
请问B错在哪里?我认为B是在说手上的资金足够多可以支撑短期需求,那CCC也应该是负的呀
